Meantime, don't forget to head over to the website to let us know your

:00:00.:00:09.

predictions for the weekend. -- on this week's Kickabout.

:00:10.:00:11.

Good morning - it's Friday and I'm Hayley,

:00:12.:00:13.

We've got loads for you, so let's get going.

:00:14.:00:17.

The boy who beat Everton players to the post gets his Goal

:00:18.:00:19.

First to an incredible discovery by scientists that will help us

:00:20.:00:30.

Because of the force of gravity, if you drop something,

:00:31.:00:36.

it falls down to the ground instead of up.

:00:37.:00:38.

Now for around 100 years, scientists have had ideas about how

:00:39.:00:41.

gravity might change in space and create ripples just like waves.

:00:42.:00:46.

Now, an international team has been able to prove that those

:00:47.:00:51.

theories are true. Leah has got this one.

:00:52.:01:01.

Black holes, the strangest objects in the universe. They cannot be

:01:02.:01:07.

seen, but scientists know they are there because of the way they move

:01:08.:01:11.

things around them. Now, group of researchers think they have made one

:01:12.:01:14.

of the biggest discoveries in 100 years. In a galaxy far, far away,

:01:15.:01:22.

two black holes smashed together more than a billion years ago. It is

:01:23.:01:27.

only now that the shock waves have reached earth. When you consider

:01:28.:01:34.

that these black holes spiralled in more than a billion years ago, and

:01:35.:01:37.

the signal has been travelling to us since then, and we turned on our

:01:38.:01:43.

detect is at just the right time to detect it arriving... This is a

:01:44.:01:49.

model of what the scientists found. First, two black holes spin towards

:01:50.:01:54.

each other, giving off waves of gravity, which is a force which

:01:55.:01:58.

attracts things towards each other. These waves get stronger and

:01:59.:02:02.

stronger until the black holes eventually collide. Professor

:02:03.:02:07.

Stephen Hawking is one of the world's most famous experts on black

:02:08.:02:13.

holes. He says the discovery has a special moment in the history of

:02:14.:02:18.

science. Gravitational waves provide a completely new way of looking at

:02:19.:02:24.

the universe. The ability to detect them has the potential to

:02:25.:02:28.

revolutionise astronomy. But why is it so important? By scanning the

:02:29.:02:34.

skies, astronomers can use these waves of gravity to find black

:02:35.:02:38.

holes, things which have been completely invisible to telescopes

:02:39.:02:43.

until now. Scientists hope this will open up parts of the universe which

:02:44.:02:45.

have never been known about before. Tech experts in Switzerland have

:02:46.:02:49.

taught drones to find their way through forests to help find lost

:02:50.:02:51.

or injured walkers. Researchers think that roughly 1,000

:02:52.:02:53.

people make emergency calls for help from forests and mountains

:02:54.:02:56.

in Switzerland alone. With this new ability to follow

:02:57.:02:58.

man-made trails in forests, drones will be able to help

:02:59.:03:00.

in search and rescue missions. It is hoped they will help teams

:03:01.:03:04.

to get to injured To football now, and it has been

:03:05.:03:08.

a funny old season in the Premier League,

:03:09.:03:13.

with lots of the big clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United

:03:14.:03:15.

struggling. And Leicester City are

:03:16.:03:17.

currently top of the table. Make sure you're watching at 8.15,

:03:18.:03:19.

because Martin has been finding out why they have been doing

:03:20.:03:22.

so well this season. Leicester City have done so well

:03:23.:03:36.

because they have got the police, the confidence, they have had a

:03:37.:03:39.

wonderful string of results, and they have got a team with some

:03:40.:03:43.

superstars like Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, but they have also got

:03:44.:03:48.

everyone else who is producing as best they possibly can, players like

:03:49.:03:52.

Danny Drinkwater and Kasper Schmeichel. Their defence has been

:03:53.:03:55.

brilliant, and they are scoring goals as well. They have been the

:03:56.:03:59.

surprise of the season. Every neutral would love to see them win

:04:00.:04:01.

the league this season. Earlier in the week,

:04:02.:04:03.

we told you about nine-year-old George, who won the Goal

:04:04.:04:06.

of the Month competition at Everton - beating the club's big stars

:04:07.:04:09.

like Ross Barkley and Aaron Lennon. Well, George has picked

:04:10.:04:12.

up his trophy from Everton manager And he got the chance to meet some

:04:13.:04:14.

of the Everton team, too. Hundreds of manatees are heading

:04:15.:04:19.

to warm waters in the US to help them survive the freezing

:04:20.:04:24.

winter weather. The big mammals can suffer from cold

:04:25.:04:27.

stress when water temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius,

:04:28.:04:30.

causing them to lose weight But more than 300 manatees have

:04:31.:04:33.

crowded together under water at Three Sisters Springs in Florida,

:04:34.:04:41.

where they will be much more comfortable as they wait

:04:42.:04:45.

for winter to pass. Newsround is back right

:04:46.:04:50.

here in about half an hour.
